071 - Debunking Masculinity Myths & Redefining Modern Manhood

071 - Debunking Masculinity Myths & Redefining Modern Manhood

In recent years, the idea of masculinity has undergone a cultural and societal shift. Though the evolution was much needed and long overdue, it has left many men uncertain of where to turn for positive models and definitions of masculinity. Some have turned to fitness and performance personalities or gym bros who celebrate physical suffering, bio-hacking, and even a return to more primitive or primal ways of living—approaches that don't seem to allow for a more evolved, nuanced understanding of what it means to be a man. On today's episode, Brad, Steve, and Clay discuss how we got here and where they think we should go. They discuss the psychological factors that have left men feeling emasculated, why the conventional alpha male paradigm is wrong, the difference in physical performance and physical suffering, and how fitness culture—and particularly lifting weights—plays into ideas about masculinity.


For previous discussions on masculinity, check out these two previous episodes in which Brad and Steve talk to Richard Reeves, author of the book "Of Boys and Men."
